Alloy Designations

Aluminium alloy 6082 also corresponds to the following standard designations and specifications but may not be a direct equivalent:

  • AA6082
  • HE30
  • DIN 3.2315
  • EN AW-6082
  • ISO: Al Si1MgMn
  • A96082

Temper Types

The most common tempers for 6082 aluminium are:

  • T4
  • T651
  • O
  • T6

Supplied Forms

  • Sheet
  • Plate

Applications

  • Highly stressed applications
  • Trusses
  • Bridges
  • Cranes
  • Transport applications
  • Ore skips
  • Beer barrels
  • Milk churns

Characteristics

  • Excellent corrosion resistance
  • Medium strength
  • Good machinability. In the T6 and T651 temper, alloy 6082 machines well and produces tight coils of swarf when chip breakers are used.
  • Good weldability
